                I

.

Yup, that’d be 

Inadequacy:

.

Jobs like that grind it into your bones,

Reinforce it,

Solidify a pecking order - 

Hierarchical ladders - 

And then orient you, near if not subjugated

Close to, or otherwise at 

The very bottom, of it.

.

                II

.

It can be hard to keep your pride in that - 

Doesn’t matter how well you’re getting paid -

Hard to maintain a sense of self,

To look outside the microcosmic nature

Of that small, little world 

.

To see it for what it is:

A man-made construct

.

And not at all

A reflection, on you

.

Or upon your competencies.

.

.

Two words, the wise man

At the top of the hill, under

The willow tree

Gave to me - 

.

Two words, he said:

.

Exit

Strategy

.
